Apparently the guy in my last post used to assemble and sell his system based on what you wanted done, but the dudes totally disappeared off the face of the earth

I installed a push button in my stang yesterday. It still needs the key though. If you have some questions I could probably help if you're still interested in a non-keyless start.

p.s. thanks for posting those plasmaglow momentary push buttons, they look awesome! I'll probably end up replacing my cheap ebay one:

See, I could do this pretty easily with the key. I think I might keep the key, rather than attempting to disable the pats. Do you only have one button in you car? Or did you include switches for accessories and ignition?

And thanks! I really like the plasmaglow fighter jet switches, and their momentary buttons with the illuminated rings.

i would rather do mine without the key.
its a 95 manual...so no PATS for me

i like the setup in the modded mustang link with the two smaller buttons and then the start button.

I think I'm gonna attempt to do it without the key, it gives it functionality rather than complete novelty. If it still requires a key, all you have to do is splice a button into the white and pink ignition wire, or, totally cut the wire and solder it into the button. I'm still curious as to how I would wire a toggle to power the accessories and toggle to power the ignition, enabling the button to crank. But more importantly, I'm confused on how the guy in the modded mustang post wired in several relays that were disabled by his keyless entry. His set up is my ideal set up, but I don't want to get halfway through, remove the ignition cylinder ect and then realize I have no clue on how to set up those relays.

I made an account on modded mustangs, but I haven't gotten a confirmation email to activate the account, so I can't post on his forum, and you can't private message until you've posted 5 times.
I would really love to get a few more details on his stang and setup, but I'm sure I can figure something out for my 04 manual

Actually, I'm not quite certain on this, but later in the modded mustang post, someone says that rather than setting up a ridiculous and confusing system for the pats, you can ziptie your key to the pats and cut a wire, add in a hidden killswitch, and you're good to go. When it's closed, it doesn't see the key, when it's opened, the key's in. That'd be much easier than setting up a series of relays. Thoughts?

i dont see why that wouldnt work. the system would "see" the key and you would then be applying the power to the system as needed.
